Obama In A Spider-man Comic Strip
In case you didn’t know….Barrack Obama had a childhood love for Spider-man. Marvel comics has announced it will feature him in a bonus story.
Editor -in-chief for Marvel, Joe Quesada, was thrilled to hear that the president elect read Spider-man comics. Quesada said: “How great is that? The commander in chief to be is actually a nerd in chief.” It was really, really cool to see that we had a geek in the White House. We’re all thrilled with that.”
According to sources: The comic starts with Spider-Man’s alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.
Parker decides “the future president’s gonna need Spider-Man,” and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor. Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.
The Obama story is a bonus in Marvel Comic’s Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out, with half the covers devoted to Obama.
